Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify premises that job security has indirect influence on well-being by means of hope, social support, and trust. Meanwhile, job autonomy and person-environment fit (P-E fit) have direct and indirect influence on well-being by means of social support and trust. Two hundred and eighteen respondents working in multinational companies were selected to test this hypothetical model. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in Linear Structural Relation (LISREL) software, several assumptions in the model were tested, i.e. how job security affected well-being, how autonomy influenced well-being, and how individual deal with it; how P-E fit directly influenced well-being, and how those who were working in the unfavorable environment could reach their well-being condition. The resulting fit indexes Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) with a value of .031 and CFI with a value of .99 significantly confirmed that the model fits and is reliable to represent the actual situation in multinational oil company and multinational automotive company. It was also generalized Conservation of Resources (COR) theory conducted in collective culture. Ultimately, this study offered theoretical and applicative suggestions as new and constructive contributions in improving the well-being at workplace in collective culture.
